West Indies all-rounder impresses in warm-up match ahead of Big Bash which
starts on Thursday

West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard struck six sixes in an over during an Adelaide Strikers warm-up match at Prince Alfred College.

Ahead of the T20 Big Bash League in Australia, which gets under way on Thursday, Pollard demonstrated his hitting ability and left Brad Hodge, who was at the non-striker's end at the time, singing his praises.

“It’s the biggest hit I’ve seen in a long time and I don’t even reckon he got all of it,” Hodge said.

“It’s pretty scary stuff. He just said ‘I’ve had enough’ and thought: ‘I’ll try and hit a few here’. When you sit at the other end, you just think how unbelievable that is, just the strength of the man, the skill of the human being. It’s good he’s come here in good form and a scary thought for any other player. It was cool fun watching, the ease he does it with is unbelievable.”

Adelaide Stars will start their T20 Big Bash campaign at home to the Melbourne Stars on Thursday.
